Dear students,

This is the first of several e-newsletters we will send over the summer to share information that will help you prepare for your arrival on campus.

You'll learn about campus resources, our New Student Orientation Program (NSOP), and important events, dates, and deadlines.

We can hardly wait to welcome you to the community — Roar, Lion, Roar!

Sincerely,
